I'm a little confused after browsing the comments. I don't think people realize these are specifically riding boots, more specifically meant to be worn with spurs, which are also heavy. ( that's what the spur shelf is for, otherwise don't get riding boots, they also look silly without spurs ). Nice review JC ! Cheers all 🍻
@@Bluewater225 The heel on a normal cowboy boot does not stick out hardly at all dude. Im guessing you’re more of a city guy or something, I’d stick with what you know. A spur shelf with no spurs sticks out like a sore thumb, also pointless.
@@DanBCooper I think you misunderstood, also I mean you could use it as a resting spot for your jeans. So not completely useless, but I can understand from your perspective why it would look silly.
Much respect for you Jeremiah!!👊🏼👍🏼 you call it like you see it . I rest assured that your reviews are genuine and non biased. Keep up the great work!!👍🏼
Thanks Gabriel! Hope to bring value to folks whether they agree with me or not. At the end of the day, a big goal of mine is to provide enough information for people to make an educated decision on their next favorite pair of boots. Cheers buddy!
I drive a forklift all day at work with these so I never notice the weight and obviously they never get muddy and heavier. I do get a lot of compliments on how good they look. Lol. Keep up the great reviews!
Honestly, weight doesn't bother me at all. After 30 minutes of walking i dont notice it, and after a long week, i dont notice a difference. My current carolina loggers are 3.5 lbs dry and clean, let alone wet and covered with mud
Damn! That's heavy Tucker! Glad you like yours. If the weight of a boot is reasonable based on it's features I'm fine with it, like with steel toe boots, but on all leather boots it just seems unnecessary
Have to say that I can't agree with your final thoughts. I wear my pair for over 6 months now and yes they are heavy and the fit feels funny at the beginning. But you get used to the weight pretty fast and the insole breaks in nicely so that it fits way better when you wear them a couple of weeks. These boots just need a little time and you won't want to miss them on your shelf after that
That's cool. I don't expect everyone to agree all the time. What fun is that?! I hope the insole doesn't compress too much or else these will end up being too big. I will continue to wear them periodically through the year to see what happens. As always, I appreciate you watching buddy
I’ve been wearing Ariat for decades. There is no break in period. I appreciate this review. I still might give Tecovas a try but I expect they’ll be no completion for Ariat.
I bought a pair of these literally two weeks ago, almost to the hour. I have feet that generally are slightly wider than normal and fit better into wide square toe than other toe styles. After trying on size 13, 12W, 11.5W in their other models I found the standard 12 in this one fit like a glove. I have noticed its slightly heavier than other boots I have, but as I'm a big guy I don't feel the weight has been an issue. In fact every one of your downsides haven't been an issue for me at all. (They even fit perfect with the thinner tecovas boot socks) What have been my issues... the treated leather soles squeaks loudly on nice clean floors like terazzo. None of my other boots do this. The leather itself also makes some noise when flexing. The worst though is that they placed seam stitching inside at the heel lower than other boots I have. They felt great in store, and great walking around the hotel room I was in, but after walking just 200 yards down the street my left foot got a HUGE blister from rubbing on that seam on one portion of the inside left. I now just place a bandaid on that spot and wear them. The other issue is the stitched tabs at the top where a pull tab would go. They use some type of hard or coated thread when stitching and if you didn't have tall socks on it literally scratched my leg raw. I was actually able to grab these hard threads and pull them out which made it better. My feet do seem to sweat a little more in them and getting them off is way harder than other boots I have because of this. What I LOVE about them... They slide on incredibly easy for tall boots, way better than others i have that fit snugly. (Plus they actually seem narrower on the top shaft than other boots i have and seem to conform to my leg better) The Bison lower leather has that unique look to it that only Bison seems to have. There's a checked pattern and the wear marks make it unique. The top portion looks like aged leather which really drew me to the boot as well. Overall I like them and am wearing them right now.
I bought the sharkskin version of these when they came out and the first thing I noticed was the weight. Definitely heavier than most other boots I own. I also agree that they feel AND look bigger than their true size. They make my feet look huge! The sharkskin is thick and durable and looks killer. The leather lined shafts are supple and comfy. They are definitely shit kickers and ready to stomp around in ALL kinds of weather and land/terrain conditions. I will not have any issue using and abusing these Bad Larry’s! Great review!
I bought a pair of these a few months back and love them. The color of the bison leather and the shaft leather are perfect. They look so good, I would never use them as a work boot. I actually wear them to church. They do seem bigger and heavier than my other boots. They are hard to take off, but I've never owned a more comfortable cowboy boot.
This boots looks really nice for a work boot indeed!! Thanks for the review! If you can, please try more times yours Hondo 2670 while trying on new jeans, I really like those and it would be nice to see how they look with even more different jeans.
I just bought these exact boots. They are a bit heavier then my other Tacovas, but not that bad. It doesn't bother me as I wear boots all the time. I got my same size as always and they fit fine, very comfortable. They do look big. I love that Hondo boot you have! Wish I could find one
Its pronounced Bi-Son. The Prescott is a horsemen's boot as in built to ride in. On a horse weight doesn't matter. Durability is what is key. Any cowboy boot in the rain/mud will not last. This is a riding boots first and walking second. Its also made to beat the hell out of them and keep going. I use mine for riding and anytime I don't want to wear my good boots that I can beat the crap out of.
I mentioned that it's not best to wear these boots in rain and mud in the video and weight is always important to me whether riding or not. Thanks for watching!
Looks like you're a man in the know. These are riding boots meant to be used with heavy spurs. Not walking, working, or casual everyday boots. And if you're riding without spurs, any boot will work. The weight is irrelevant as your feet are planted in the stirrups supporting your whole body. I love JC but I wish that point would have been expressed and clarified.
"Hey Jeremiah, at least you're testing the boots well! :-) I recently bought on EBAY a pair of fairly high leather boots (NOCONA Brown Leather Bullhide Cowboy boots) and weight issue, the heel is good but the boot retains the weight of a normal boot! “I love horses too!
Yeah heavy boots can be a buzzkill to me too. It's doesn't bother some folks which is cool. Sometimes I'm even envious of the people who can deal with heavy boots haha!
The Prescott is marketed as a “riding boot”. Many horsemen me included like my riding boots to be a little large for comfort and safety in the saddle. Likewise for a riding boot more leather equals better as weight isn’t that much of a concern. Long story short, I don’t own this boot but some of the negatives may be positives for some horsemen. I have different boots for riding, chores and casual but my riding boots are dedicated for that purpose. Great video. Thanks for your insights.
@@Bluewater225 Ariats. Tall shaft with rawhide on the heel and a great spur ledge at the top of an uncommonly high heel these days. Don’t know the model and I haven’t seen them since I bought them, but theyare perfect except they don’t have a leather sole.
I've got a theory why they are so heavy. First of all, i doubt that tecovas factory removed the fleshed side (roughout) of leather soles. Usually it is recommended to sand this side, cause it doenst affect durability but greatly improves light weight of material (leather soles). And second factor, dont forget that soles of prescott model treated with butyl. Combine that treatment with rough out side of soles, they suck up butyl like sponge, probably two times more than they should.
I ordered a pair and saw this video before receiving them and was concerned what to expect. After getting them I did not experience the same issues and the weight is not a problem. The stitching issues I haven’t had perhaps because I wear the tall Dan Post boot socks. I haven’t had them long but as most boot owners know, you pretty much will know if a boot works for you right after putting them on. Boots don’t fit everybody the same. JC seems straight up and if they didn’t fit him right then I’m sure that’s the deal. Doesn’t mean it’ll be the same for you. It’s like that with anything. I don’t have near as much experience with as many boots as JC but I do have quite a few boots. The Prescott looks and fits great for me. A big plus with Tecovas is the ease of ordering and returning, which is great if you don’t have stores with a wide selection of boots near you. My wife recently bought the Jamie and loves them which is what led me to the Prescott. I ordered two sizes to speed up the process and since they include return labels I simply returned the one that didn’t fit. I ordered the same size I use with square toes and it fit true to size. ETA: I ordered a D and EE since I have flat feet. Depending on the boot I can sometimes do a D but in this boot I needed EE. I prefer medium rounds and squares and based on pics and JC’s vid I wasn’t sure if I’d like the toe. Turns out the toe looks great. The ol’lady likes these boots the best and so do I. Great looking boot. Keep up the vids JC 👍🏼
Good review JC, you put these through the gauntlet. Can you imagine how huge those would be in my size? Lol I'm actually taken by the wine introduction & am considering putting an order in. 👍
It is amazing that the Prescott boots are so heavy as well as being so oversized compared to other boots. The leather seems to have held up pretty well under those wet and muddy conditions. I know I wouldn’t want to wear a pair of boots that are that heavy. Great review though JC. BTW you might be a little late for the airshow if you go in July. 😂
Just got my new pair of Prescott size 14 D. I normally ware size 15 B. These fit great. No toe crowding. Like the fit with the insole. These are running a little bigger than some other Tecovas, like the Banderas. ( I tried to stretch the boot for my tall instep and still had to add zippers to get my feet into the Banderas. The Banderas are also a heavy work boot too.) So for me the bigger size worked out. Love the fit and finish of the Bison leather. I always have sole savers put on all of my leather sole boots. These boots were designed for horseback ridding not for working in the mud and rain. Yes, they are heavy compared to other boots but I wore steel shank and steel toe with zipper boots for 32 years. With size 15 feet all of my boots would feel heavy. I guess I just got use to it. Just weighed my Bandars and Prescott boots. 6.5 lbs. for the Bandars and 5.5 lbs. for the Prescott.
definetly confused why tecovas struggles with insoles, seems like you need to go a size down at least and then remove the insole to have a comftorble boot.
I love the insole especially in a work boot on long days. My bandera boots see multiple 12, 14 hour days each week. Feet still feel great even after long days. I was lucky enough to go into a tecovas store to try on and pick out my perfect size.
I am admittedly late to the party. I'm looking up these videos because the website says that I should order a half size down from what I normally would order. I ordered these in 11 D because that's what I had ordered from them before, and I think these actually fit better than my first pair. It's a good thing I saw them on Last call last night, because I ordered the last pair of sandstone suede. I don't care about the weight, I want something that is comfortable, durable and these look nice as well.
Hey Jeremiah. I’m enjoying your boot reviews. (Also, some excellent singing bro! Damn fine voice) okay this is a request for maybe someday to review . I would recommend two USA made heritage boot brands to you that are fantastic boots IMO. First is the classic (more affordable )Red Wing Pecos boot. Second is a more high end boot by WESCO called the Morrison. Both are high quality but the Morrison is an outstanding, hard wearing boot which also comes in B width. Wesco is a great heritage brand with a rich history. Made by hand in Portland Oregon. Check them both out. You won’t be disappointed. Okay…Take care buddy. Thanks again and keep up the great work.
You're reading my mind man! Can't wait to get some Pecos on the channel. Definitely on the top of my list. Wesco too. They make such great looking boots. Hope to get some soon. We'll see how it goes! Thanks so much Duke!
@@JeremiahCraig My pleasure, friend. The Pecos is a great boot. I own three pair. I’d recommend the 1155 or the 1178. Same uppers but different soles. It’s a no-frills boot that’s very rugged for ranch work but also is stylish for casual wear or for daily beaters. The full grain leather is premium quality which makes them age beautifully. They also have your narrow width. Keep up the great work!
Great video I love the Prescott I been waiting on the shark ones to restock what made me like them so much is the double stitch u-toe but I haven’t seen any other brand have that double stitch u-toe is there any you recommend?
Good review. I’ve got them in shark, got a 1/2 size smaller than my usual size and they fit great. Have you tried R Watson or Fenoglio boots? I just got one pair of each, they are both really nice boots.
Not sure I have all this right, but the bison leather is not stretched and is a thicker piece of leather in a boot. That would definitely make for them to look bigger. Just recently had a pair of custom bison boots made and felt the same, they are heavier boots and they look bigger than my Hondo boots in bovine. Again I enjoyed your fine review and great entertaining quality!!
Ive had them for 3ish months, ive used them for daily use and saddle riding, they’ve held up pretty great still no complaints, also in my opinion jeremiah overstated the weight im a size 9.5 and wear them all day and ive never been more fatigued compared to a pair of ariats
Looks like a great work boot were I can were all day but that insole has to go I like just a leather foot bed thanks for another great and honest review
Jeremiah, can u do a vid on boots that have at least 16 “ shafts , or so my dad called them snake bite boots? There hard to find I’m looking to get a pair thank!! Another great vid!!😎🤘
How about a playlist? Here's 10 videos featuring boots 14" tall and taller: ru-vid.com/group/PLE4gSiIJBaguDprYwV5_M3Z4YZMuvfYXt Thanks for watching Keith!
I wonder if you could size down and take out the insole to help shave some weight? I’ve been looking at a pair of these but I wear a 14EE and bet they will be even heavier.
I didnt like them cause they are huge but i stopped at a store and tried on some different sizes and removed insoles and they fit really nice and they dont look huge trick is to fit good without the insole though
Well ik I have a question I really want these but I like my boots on the smaller side would it be fine if I sized down adequately and wore them in without the insole? Because I’m the video he says how it looks like there was hard leather underneath
I have the bison Prescott and it is my favorite pair of Tecovas boots as far as looks go. However it is the most uncomfortable of the 3 pairs of Tecovas I own. When I say uncomfortable, I mean they fit weird in the ankle area, not the footbed.
I feel like you being in the boots for one day you will never really know how good of a work boot it really is. One morning of chores will never tell you how the boot really last or works; and that goes for any boot you have reviewed (maybe send them to a real cowboy and get their thoughts maybe 🤷♂️). As someone who trains horses 7 days a week and on my feet for much longer then you were I can tell you these are good work boots. Mine lasted a while before I had to change them out and I train horses and teach equine studies for a university so I go thru boots A LOT. Maybe wear them more time on a ranch then make an opinion about the boots and how the hold up. Just my simple opinion.
I wore these for about a month. Only recorded one day since I can only do so much so if you'd like to see more start a channel yourself. Take it or leave it 👍 Thanks for watching
I am just not a fan of Tecovas. They seem to cut so many corners to appeal to the masses. Which kudos to those people that these are made for; they won't notice the difference in a quality cowboy boot vs. Tecovas. However, for anyone who knows a quality cowboy boot these are cheaply made fake boots for the weekend cowboy at the mall. Something like a Hondo is so much better built in the same price range. Something like Anderson Bean or Hondo is Lucchese quality at the same price as Tecovas, granted they do not offer as much variety of skins and craftsmanship design as Lucchese which is what you are paying for there.
You said you have have a pair of tacovas in 10.5, fit good. So you get an 11 for the next pair and complain about the fit? That's a you problem not a them
That wine co is cool,tell you go sober want to stop getting it. They will spam you to death! I have unsubscribed like 10 times and they still email me regularly and text me every holiday with some special.
I live in Houston and there is a Tecovas store near me, I own 2 pairs, the ostrich Emmitt and the ostrich Wyatt, they are the most comfortable boots I ave ever owned
